In the tradition of releasing (or at least announcing)buggy, mostly
untested software, here's:
js_wrap - a simple wrapper for non Jack-Session aware apps whose state
can be fully specified by their commandline
Use
js_wrap -- gnome-terminal
if you want to get a gnome terminal in your jack_session.. Or
js_wrap -- a2jmidid
if you want to have the alsa to midi bridge in your jack_session..
Get the software via copy and paste of the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/fps/js_wrap
cd js_wrap
mkdir bld
cd bld
cmake ..
cd ..
make -C bld
sudo make install
and get to fixing bugs ;D
In my experiments it worked just fine with gnome-terminal though there
are some errors and the code is pretty much copy-pasta'd from
lash_wrap... So expect breakage and panic and hilarity which will ensue..
Always use condoms,

Cool. lash_wrap has been a very useful tool, I'm glad to see a jack session
wrapper.
As far as naming, too bad js usually stands for javascript (maybe
jsession_wrap or something like that would have been a clearer choice). I
almost skipped the announcement because of this :)

Thanks for your work. If Qjackctl will support JackSessions infra
clients, it will provide the same functionality I think. Qjackctl can be
used without condoms, so that's an obvious advantage.

its only useful for clients with no state. clients with state will not
work correctly with it and are not intended to be used with it.

there is that, yes.

its not a problem. if the app is going to get state saved/restored,
then it has to participate in some kind of "exchange" with something
else. that participation is called "JACK Session" and the something
else is the session manager (via the jack server). adding a *new*
method to get the state saved/restored would be ... uh ... pointless.
the whole point of js_wrap is to handle apps that have no state, and
thus there is minimal motivation to add JACK Session support to them.
